If you receive a call saying you’ve won a new computer, hang up! A local consumer was told she won a new PC but had to send money. She sent $20 to the scammer, who then said they wanted more money before sending her the computer.

SHEPHERDSVILLE – The great news is that the new tracks at the three Bullitt County High Schools are nearly complete.

In fact, the track at North Bullitt is finished and even rubberized and lined.

While that is really great news for the area track programs, it will cause a few headaches for area football fans as was obvious last Friday night at Bullitt East as the team was scrimmaging Fern Creek.

When you see the clerks in the Circuit Clerk’s office, there are many things you may not know about them.

There are 19 full-time clerks in an office which, per the state’s own statistics, requires 25 full-time clerks. 16 of these clerks process all of the paperwork in the court system. 3 of the clerks work in the driver’s license division.

Clerks in the District, Circuit and Juvenile divisions are the takers, not the makers. Clerks can only process documents received.

For the first time in over a year, it looks like the Southeast Bullitt Fire and Rescue Department and the Southeast Bullitt Fire Protection District Board might actually be looking to settle their differences.

I know... we’ve been here before.

About 15 months ago, it appeared the two boards would be working toward a mutally-agreeable resolution.

By January 2017, the two entities would become one. And you know what happened then.

SHEPHERDSVILLE – The baseball All-Star game was just last week, the Fourth of July is still a vivid memory and summer has officially been with us for less than a month.
The not so tactfully named ‘dead period’ is well...dead and gone for another summer.
Yet fall starts next Friday.

Each summer we try to do a big road trip to some place new.
This summer we chose Virginia Beach. Virginia Beach is as good as it gets without going to the West Coast and it’s a lot closer (only about 10.5 hrs).

FRANKFORT – The Fourth of July is a favorite American holiday filled with picnics, parties, parades and more. However, celebrating can quickly turn to tragedy when people choose to drive after drinking. The Kentucky State Police (KSP) is urging everyone to plan ahead this Independence Day and designate a sober driver.
